Impact Wrestling — Bound For Glory 2017 Predictions

Impact Wrestling — Bound For Glory 2017 Predictions

Bound For Glory 2017 arrives with a Canada sized mound of questions, concerns, and rumors, but also with a ton of potential for 2018.

The restructuring of the pioneering Live Audio Wrestling brand and the release of its members, John Pollock, Wai Ting, Jason Agnew, Dan Lovranski and Braden Herrington has once again gave many wrestling fans a reason to not give Anthem another chance at building Impact. Since 2014, Impact Wrestling’s biggest Pay-Per-View has garnered more questions outside of the ring than inside of it. Unfortunately, this year is no different. Rumors of Ricochet, Tessa Blanchard, Ethan Page, Sami Callahan and others have largely been drowned out by Anthem seemingly always low blowing themselves.

Team Impact (Eddie Edwards, EC3, and James Storm) vs. Team AAA (El Hijo Del Fantasma, Texano Jr, and Pagano — The match should be good, but Storm and EC3’s rocky relationship could cost them the match. Edwards is sort of an outlier here as the GHC Champion of Pro Wrestling NOAH. Never trust a Carter, but always trust a Cowboy. Winner — Team Impact

Rosemary vs. Taya Valkyrie in a Red Wedding Match — Rosemary’s popularity has risen this year and Taya is a great addition to the Knockouts Division. If given time, this might be a show stealer. Rosemary has been in face mode for a while with a series of losses recently, but the Red Wedding (First Blood) match is sort of her specialty match. I also could see Tessa Blanchard costing Rosemary the match. Winner — Taya

Abyss vs. Grado in a Monsters Ball — Speaking of specialty matches, Abyss invites Grado to Monsters Ball. Jeremy Borash could definitely get the call for producing this one, so look for some insanity. Winner — Abyss

Moose and Stephan Bonnar vs. Lashley and King Mo in Six Sides Of Steel — Moose gets his second straight PPV match where he performs with a performer outside of the Impact roster. The Slammiversary match with DeAngelo Williams was great. Lashley is still a great performer, but Moose is the future of Impact. Winner — Moose and Stephan Bonnar
